Description

Confitemini Domino, by Venezuelan composer Miguel Astor, is an exciting new setting of Psalm 117 verse 1. This work in a driving 6/8 pulse requires an energetic performance from the ensemble to convey the spirit of exaltation that is within the music and the text. The aleatoric section allows for a brief change in character as the choir proclaims the words “quoniam bonus” (He is good). This work is an excellent opener for your next concert.

Confitemini Domino

Confitemini Domino uses the text on Psalm 117 verse 1: Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus, quoniam in sæculum misericordia ejus. (O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious: because his mercy endureth forever)

The music setting of this text it has a rhythmic pattern evoking a very joyful praise in a very homophonic structure followed by and aleatorily singing as a reflexive and meditative reiteration and emphasis on the text quoniam bonus (He is good). The composer gives a meaningful and profound music that reflects on the power of the text
